Movie stars used to seem so cool. But when Will Smith hit Chris Rock at the Academy Awards over a joke, and then later got a standing ovation for his Oscar win, people in the real world were appalled. Somehow today's cossetted movie millionaires seem much more cringe than classy, as celebrity watcher, talk-show host and media personality Shaun Proulx discusses with Anthony in this week's episode. Proulx explains how thin-skinned celebrities and Hollywood cancel culture are losing in a competition against a new breed of stars who are being born every day on TikTok and YouTube.

In this special edition of the Think Queerly Podcast, I speak with my friend and colleague, Shaun Proulx about the issue of shaming and judgment of those who are choosing (and needing) to have sex during the COVID-19 pandemic and social quarantine.Haven’t We Been Here Before?In this episode Shaun and I get right into the various contrasts we are witnessing in human behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic and why that reminds of our own experiences having lived through the very beginnings of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s.We discuss the layers of shame, including gay shame, bareback shaming from the early days of AIDS and eating our own — how marginalized groups are often more judgmental of their own, which further exacerbates feelings of shame and a lack of belonging and acceptance. Shaun drives home the point that this is a conversation for everyone who has sex, not just gay men. Everyone needs to hear this message and have this conversation.We talk about the neuroscience of the mammalian brain, which is always seeking acceptance, connection, care. I those needs are not met, we have a difficult time using our pre-frontal cortex, the so-called human brain for logic, reasoning, and planning for things like safer-sex strategies. This all comes back to the human need for touch, physical connection, and sex — the longer we go without social connection, the more difficult it is to be “human.” We are all feeling some form of social-distancing fatigue.This of course makes it even more of a challenge being single right now, especially for people living alone. For those who suffer depression or have challenges with addiction, following the rules is more challenging and stigma and preaching abstinence simply does more harm than good.We conclude with a discussion about the need for compassionate and empathetic advocacy, as well as practicing more empathy for all of us. COVID-19 is the straw that has broken the camel’s back; it is a tipping point for humanity to realize that it’s not just a global health pandemic, rather, this is a life-changing, world-altering, system-disruption that is forcing us to evaluate civil liberties, human rights, and greater respect for the planet.About Shaun ProulxShaun has credits as a television personality and host, producer, talk radio host, motivational speaker, columnist, author, publisher, actor, live event host, spokesperson, life coach, and activist for the issues of mental health, animal rights, and HIV stigma.

One truth I know about gay men is that many of us don't know how to be men. How can we live out our most authentic gay selves when we are faced with challenges like toxic masculinity, which attempts to regulate the feminine in all men? In our own community, we face toxic gay masculinity that’s manifest in gay men who identify as straight-acting (who, for example, advertise as “masc seeking same” on dating apps). Nor do we live in the world of a simple binary anymore. We have trans men and women, and people who choose to identify in their own, unique ways that challenge social norms and rigid gender constructs. In the end, we are all just people. True equality depends on every one of us accepting and embracing others as human beings. No one is less than any other person or in any way less deserving of equality. We also talk about miracles and why I don’t use the word. Listen in to find out how I describe the “truth about miracles.” For those of you who don’t know, I wear many hats – but they are all gay!

Media personality and talk radio show host Shaun Proulx has a great big heart – and he shares a piece of it with us in this episode of the Free Your Inner Guru Podcast. When Shaun Proulx and I sat down to record this interview, we had a list of topics and found that neither one of us felt like speaking about anything other than our thoughts and feelings about current events this week with the loss of two highly talented creatives like Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. Shaun opens up about own his experience of living a public life and what led him to create a "Thought Revolution." Shaun believes it is time that we stop stigmatizing our humanity. The words Thought Revolution came out of his mouth during a CBC interview. After the strength of the audience's response, Shaun knew that a Thought Revolution was needed – not just for himself. He has dedicated his life and his work to sharing the power of living consciously with others. "I know that the only thing I've done that has proven to be consistently successful is that the thoughts I think on the subjects that are important to me create my reality... The thoughts we have in our heads are the only things we can control." Listen to this episode to hear Shaun Proulx share his perspective on: Why success is not doing what other people thing you should be doing. What we can learn from our shock when people who appear to have it all - like Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain - commit suicide. The things people give up when they have a public life. How Shaun's journey living with HIV taught him that something you try to keep private begins to carry the weight of a secret. The best part of making your dreams come true. How he deals with fear. Why we have to take the things we don't like and appreciate them. The 3 things Shaun does each day to cultivate to "tune my dial" and align himself with joy. Why he is a little bit jealous of you if you're just starting out. :) Shaun Proulx is one of the most versatile talents in media and entertainment with credits as a television personality and host, producer, radio host, motivational speaker, columnist, author, publisher, actor, live event host, spokesperson, life coach, and activist for the issues of mental health, animal rights, and HIV stigma.

For the holiday season I decided to make a super cut of answers to the final question I ask "If you could have everyone in the world realize, accept or understand one thing, what would it be?" I used 12 answers and kept them pretty short, but I hope it's a little inspiration heading into the New Year! We have answers from: Graham Clark, Shawn Hogan, Adrienne Kress, Boomer Phillips, Erin Keaney, Shaun Proulx, Courtney Gilmour, Jay Brody, Rebecca Kohler, Illvibe, Tiffany Pratt, and Jon Dore!
What is the Summer of Yes? Every day you are presented with countless decisions. What do you say "yes" to? I was introduced to the Summer of Yes by Shaun Proulx. Shaun hosts The Shaun Proulx Show on Sirius XM Channel 167, Canada Talks. Summer of Yes is the theme of his show throughout this summer. According to Shaun, “Summer Of Yes isn't about saying yes to everything, nor is it to appease other people's agendas. It's about you. Saying yes to possibilities begins with your realigning yourself. To do so, you must leave your comfort zone and jump off the cliff. Put yourself first and dive into a Summer of Yes.”** Alignment is a guiding principle of living a conscious, fulfilling life. Saying Yes to a bigger life is playful. Yes means taking risks. Yes means being open. Yes means not holding back. Yes means getting out of your comfort zone. In today's episode, you'll find out the one big question to ask yourself when you dive into your Summer of Yes. PS. Want to get out of your comfort zone so you can say "Yes?"
